 After Tor Browser successfully bootstraps once Tor-Launcher does not
 prompt the user to "connect" or "configure" the next time (or subsequent
 times, until there is a bootstrap failure). Android should provide a
 similar experience.

 There is significantly more risk involved here, however, because (I
 assume) we are much more likely to "roam" onto a hostile network using a
 mobile device than when using a desktop or laptop.

 Maybe we should make this opt-in as a config option in network settings?

 I'm also a little worried about the conflict between safe-by-default and
 easy-to-use-by-default. Will a Firefox Focus user install Tor Browser and
 then configure it to automatically connect?
